This takes every drop of oil that may be on your face and abolishes it to the darkest depths of hell, basically. Without joking this is one of the best setting powders I have ever used. The peppermint extracts give it a very nice and soothing smell! The powder is white, not translucent, but it blends and melts very well into your makeup. Just be careful so you don't overdo it and end up looking like you've slept on a pile of coke. it can be reapplied after a few hours if you're very oily or sweat a lot but along with a good primer this has made my makeup survive even amusement park adventures
